Whether you’re staying in a tropical climate or experiencing four seasons a year, there’s no doubt that your offices’ air conditioning can get too cold. So plan wisely to grasp this fleeting opportunity to do chic layering!

Here are our top 5 tips to keep you covered at work:

The neck scarf
There are a few tricks to keep warm in cold offices or cool weathers. An effective trick would be wrapping a scarf or a neckerchief around your neck. With a myriad of ways to rock a scarf around your neck, there is certainly a particular style that would appeal to you. Plus, it is so easy to incorporate this trend into your ensemble, giving each a different vibe. A silk scarf paired with a shirtdress lets you emanate a classy aura, and matching it with this season’s block heels and your ladylike look is complete.

Sweater weather
When it does get chilly, do the classic shirt under a sweater look. In warmer weather, a sleeveless sweater would be a better alternative. Opt for a button-down shirt that is made out of lightweight material. A classic white shirt makes for an effortlessly chic style while a printed shirt underneath gives the wearer a more fun persona! Let the shirt’s hems peek out from under the knits to create a high-contrast allure.

Your next worthy investment
A longline vest – whether it is tailored cut or loose fitted, this outerwear instantly adds panache to your ensemble. A belted one is suitable for days that require formality, with an added advantage of creating a slimmer silhouette. The best combination to work with such a vest is with a pair of tailored trousers or fitted jeans with your top tucked in. Slip on a pair of pointed toe heels to give your look a perfect score!

Want to make an impression your next appointment with a client? It’s all about achieving a polished look. Then go for a strong silhouette that imbues a classy power dressing. Layer on a blazer with structured shoulders and nipped at the waist area. Wear it over a fitted dress for an outcome that is both confident and feminine!
